About Us

Ankara Kaptan / Ancyra Sailing was founded in 2006 by Benhür-Candan Tokyürek. When both of them had separate business, they met sailing as a hobby, found each other and liquidated their work and turned the sail into a lifestyle. Previously, they worked as “trainer” in various sailing clubs, then they rented a Jeanneau 43 yearly, continued to teach and eventually got a Bavaria 44. The name Ankara Kaptan is patented and started to be used simultaneously with the purchase of the boat they named as Şahbaz.

With Ancyra Sailing, you can have the exact type of yacht cruise experience you want!

Ankara Kaptan, began to give theory lessons in Ankara for Turkish license’s exam (ADB – certificate of competence for operators of pleasure craft; KMT – VHF radio operator), while continuing to practice whole year in Göcek bays. They helped about 150-200 people each year, to have their certificate; and also started to work with some institutions, such as ASELSAN, TAI, TED Ankara Koleji (students & graduates), Group Office, Nurol FNSS, Garanti Bank BBVA İstanbul, Başkent University (students, workers & graduates), Bursa Acıbadem Hospital doctors, Bilkent Üniversitesi (students & graduates).

Later on, the second boat was purchased with the motto “If you don’t grow, you will shrink”. Immediately afterwards, a Beneteau Oceanis 40 & 43 which belong to two students of Ankara Kaptan, have joined to the fleet. Students who wanted to get a job as a profession, were trained by them and were recruited to Ankara Kaptan as “sailing instructor”. In this way, a small amount of employment was created. 

With new instructors, not only in Ankara, but also in Istanbul, Izmir, Bursa, Eskisehir and Konya, theory lessons for Turkish license’s exam courses were opened and those who participated these lessons, sailed in Fethiye / Gocek with Ancyra Sailing boats.

Apart from the sailing boats, they also give motor yacht and catamaran trainings; with their education model called 3 + 1, students can use their boats alone after finishing the program. 

In the winter time, with the motto “Spring, Summer, Autumn, Summer”, Ankara Kaptan continued their trainings by renting catamarans in the Southern Hemisphere island countries; such as Bahamas (Abaco), Thailand (Puket), Tahiti (Raitea/Bora Bora), Seychelles, New Zeland (Auckland). Thus, the dreams of many people were realized.

The boats are used for educational purposes and are chartered as bareboats. As a result of weekly charters in summer and 2-3 days in winter, boats take about 50 departures on average every year. Thus it is known as the best running company in the region. In 2019, overseas charter was initiated; many well-known agencies started to work with Ancyra Sailing. As a result, Ankara Kaptan / Ancyra Sailing started to expand its customer portfolio.
